Ray Loring

Charles Raymond Loring II 1943-2008, known professionally as Ray Loring, was a freelance composer and college professor in Massachusetts.

He graduated from Perley High School in his home town of Georgetown, MA. He studied piano with Fred Noonan, the White House pianist to Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. He studied at Yale University at Timothy Dwight College, particularly with the late Edmund Morgan. He was a member of Scroll and Key.

During his senior year he was granted the Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and used it for his graduate studies at Brandeis University Graduate School of Music, studying under Seymour Shifrin, Arthur Berger and Harold Shapero.

He did scores, as early as 1971 with the film "Ruby," as well as commissions for NOVA and the History Channel.

Loring taught at Endicott College circa 1980-1992 and went into freelance composing full time until 2007 when he was accepted into the music faculty at Gordon College from 2007-8

In his leisure he enjoyed hiking with friends and completed the New Hampshire 48 and the New England 67, both high accomplishments regarded in the hiking world.
